I have the MediaPilot and it is great. I keep the base station in a closet, with some of my other components and there is never an issue with events. The keyboard/mouse aspect work Out-Of-The-Box on my FC3 system. The only thing I have never setup is the IR remote control aspect. That needs Windows software I never got around to testing. My Harmony remote does everything I need. I bought mine on
<a href="http://buy.com">buy.com</a>. Only downside of the keyboard is the plastic squeaks. The battery life is very very good as well. I put it in the charger maybe once a month. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
